ORLANDO, Fla. — The 64 schools in the women's NCAA basketball tournament combined to graduate 90 percent of their players.

The findings are part of the annual report released Tuesday by the University of Central Florida's Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport.

The study also shows the gap between graduation rates of white and African-American players shrunk to 6 percentage points. White athletes graduated at a 94 percent rate; African-Americans at 88 percent.
